Hi Does anyone know if there is any desktop dock for SP?
No.
If Google can't find one, there is none.

Any universal micro USB connector dock should work. We just need to search for one that has adjustable micro USB, so that it fits our SP comfortably.
THis might probably work:

Well the phone has been out for only 2 months and also considering all other sony phones (made within 2 years) have docks I would say just wait and see. The Sony Xperia SP also has micro usb to hdmi capabilities.
Here is a link on google shopping with some docking stations that may be usable
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=xperia%20sp%20dock&rlz=1C1CHFX_enGB529GB529&um=1&hl=en&biw=1241&bih=640&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw&ei=u7LzUdTUEM66hAf6xoG4BA#q=xperia+sp+dock&rlz=1C1CHFX_enGB529GB529&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ei=ybLzUfvxG4mChQeu7oHoAQ&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAw&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49784469%2Cd.ZG4%2Cpv.xjs.s.en_US.MpiVkF51mpA.O&fp=4b0597517e617418&biw=1241&bih=640

I'd advise you to search for "dock m35h" on all the Chinese sites! Though I'm in no way affiliated too DX.com; you could hit up the next link (even cheaper)!
http://dx.com/p/desktop-charging-cradle-usb-to-micro-usb-cable-set-for-sony-xperia-sp-m35h-black-242820
So as always, first check if our Chinese friends have made something for you!
I have bought this same dock for my SP, bought it from ebay for 10 dollars (free shipping), Overal quality is ok, dock is very light. Docking the phone is somewhat not that easy. My phone has a total body skin (skinomi). Because of the skin the phony is a little bit to thick for the dock. I removed the inner part of the dock for a better fit. But docking the phone can sometimes be a hassle the micro usb pin on the dock is a little bit wobbly.
For 10 dollar it is ok.

post your reviews after reciving
New guy here, just got my SP last week. I ordered one of those docks form Deal Extreme as well, will post some pics and review when it gets here.
I may try making my own as well, as I'd like to have a couple more (at work and night table).
Hi guys.
I'm from Poland and I want to look for a Dock for my SP or make it by myself.
But. I wonder how it really work. I have seen - dont know exactly that was on SP or other android device - that system can recognize if device is connected to charger or dock station. Is there any "special" signal to do it??
TBH, I don't see the value of having a docking station; after all, the microUSB is on top left side instead of on the bottom.
I myself use a mini tripod, connecting the USB using a standard MicroUSB cable.

1. You can put it on the shelf. You don't have your device to lay down always near your PC.
2. Since microUSB is on top left side I have large problem with this. When you are left handed than ok. But now I have my phone on right side of my laptop with mouse and cup of coffe. Perfect combination
3. Look pretty well.
4. You can easily use it as Photo Frame (looks awesome)
5. You can easily use it as music player (with one more small cable)
6. You can easily use it as beautiful watch
7. And once again. It looks awesome on the TV shelf, not another lay-down-anywhere-phone
rgullyt and
For me is having it upright instead of laying flat on the desk, must better to see and use. I use my SP to listen to music all day at work and a dock would be a much better solution for me. Also, you can use one on your night table as an alarm clock/nighttime charger. I ordered two but maybe should have gotten at least one more. May order another one after they arrive and I see how they work out.

That's the one I ordered from DX but after ordering they said that it was backordered, so I cancelled my order and picked one up on eBay. Haven't arrived yet but more than likely the same unit.
From my understanding there is a removable insert in them that you take out if you have a case on the phone, is this correct Steph?

Hi All - Early days yet, but has anyone spotted any 'desktop cradles' that also act as a charger for the Leo. I'd like mine to sit on my desk at work - so that everyone gets a good view of it!
What would be even better would be if it had the facility to hold a second battery on charge. I've got one for my Kaiser, but it's unbranded and I can't recall where I bought it.
I guess you could use the car kit (here) though that seems a little expensive. Haven't seen any dedicated stands, but I guess they will come when it's actually released...
According to one of the bigger mobile webshops in Sweden the HTC CR G300 cradle will fit the HD2? Can anyone confirm this?

I second that - saw that katshing had it as a "accessory" so I mailed them and got an answer that its a misstake.
as GotBoost states, they're not compatible with each other
Here's hoping HTC will release a HTC CR G300 style cradle that IS compatible with HD2.
Eventually they will I think, since probably all new phones will use Micro-USB since it becomes the defacto standard charger connector.
The HTC CR G300 is perfectly functional, but that is its problem. With the latest HTC to covet and show off, I would like something a bit more stylish and the car kit is just that. If someone can come up with a cheaper version of the car for deskmounting, it would make changing the cover on a permanent basis a more attractive option.
Cradle HD2
I have a HD2 on order and am looking forward to it next week !
But, the cradle remains unclear. I have the HTC CR G300 with a HD and I doubt very very much that this will fit the HD2 as the photos I have seen show the USB connector as slightly offset to the right.
In my humble view the HTC CR G300 will not fit.
Now, the car kit - this looks great and I'm tempted. But, until now I have not been able to discover if this has a data channel or only power. I suspect due to its intended function in the car that there is no data channel. So, use on the desk with PC is out.
I remain open on the car kit ...
you guys are forgetting about one big difference.... hd2 has MICRO usb, not MINI usb like all other HTC phones.... so forget about cradle from hd

For even greater confusing... I also got an answer from Katshing on the same topic but in that reply they say it will work (?). I doubt it really will but I still think someone should try to verify it once and for all.
it won't work, because its micro-usb (hd2) vs. the old mini-usb (older HTC devices)
micro is not the same as mini... try googling micro-usb compatibility with mini-usb

Have patience. They will surely make a desktop cradle for it. But as the HD2 uses MicroUSB, it will need to be a new one. Patience is a virtue (so they say)!

The S400 car kit is power only. Leave it to HTC to introduce their flagship phone without a desktop dock. Just stupid ...
Thanks broadview - I thought that might be the case with the car kit.
So, power only on the car kit.
And, the CR300 original HD cradle is no good as mini-USB and not micro-USB.
So, NO CRADLE yet from HTC - common chaps how about a slick cradle to go with this flagship device ?

This was exactly the same when the Touch HD was released this time last year.

Actually there were third-party cradles and a CR300 adapter available when the HD was introduced. I know, I bought an HD and a cradle as soon as the HD was available. That's why I call HTC the 99% percent company; they always make at least one goof with every product introduction.
Anybody have pictures of what the back of the official car cradle looks like? Always been curious as to how it "floats" and charges (does it?) without any sort of visible connection (on the pictures anyway). Either the dock has a lid which fits into the battery compartment to hold it (which means you would have to take off the battery lid to use the dock), or I'm being fooled and its a suction cup.
I would imagine the car power plug is actually just a 12v socket with a standard USB port, with an extension chord to connect to the dock. If that were the case you could just exchange the car charger for a USB charger for desktop use.
Here is another dock I found using 2 seconds of Googling.
Though it looks like one good flick and it'll fall over.

Also, (although my pair were admittedly cheaper, off-eBay), I find that these detiorate after a few weeks and can break/make for a flimsy connection.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.45252
I bought an alternate version of this keyboard (white, not silver).
It works very well. It's pretty much the same size as an apple wireless keyboard, except made in plastic (doesn't feel super cheap though). Also contains all the windows keys -- so pgup, pgdn, home, end, and del keys are all there. And since it's not a foldable keyboard, it's a bit more reliable.
I actually like how it's plastic and can be disassembled easily. In addition, the back area (where the circuitry is) actually contains a lot of space so if the LiON battery runs out, you can easily mod it to take 2-3 AAA batteries (the internal batteries output at 3.7-4V) inside, leaving you with a bluetooth keyboard that you can operate on replaceable batteries alone.
Oh, as for the charging...you can charge and use the keyboard simultaneously. AND if you lose the charging cable, just open it up, and replace the charging recepticle with a USB port (unsolder the 2 leads, and just rip the recepticle right out, and replace with a USB port).
Easy to mod, and cheap. Good buy!

NO DATA!
I wanted an adapter that plugged in to the micro USB port with OTG capability & just had a microSD slot on the other end. However, I couldn't find one, so I set out to make one. I took an micro USB to USB adapter and modified it to be OTG capable and then plugged in the smallest USB microSD adapter I could find. Now I have a nice little adapter that I can plug in without having it flopping around like a tail on the end of a cable. Just thought I'd share my project.
I used information from this page to hook up the wiring correctly:

Does anyone have the balls to try to make a y-cable and test it?
Head 1: MicroUSB for tablet.
- All cables connected with ID connected to ground for OTG.
Head 2: Female USB (power only)
- Only black and red power cables connected.
Head 3: Female USB (power and data)
- All 4 cables connected
What we hopefully should receive is the possibility to charge the tablet while having storage mounted, plus have the USB devices powered by the power cable instead of the tablet.
I don't have the Nexus 7 myself yet, else i would have tried by now (not available here yet).
I need something like this cause i wan't to replace the screen in my car with this tablet. But since i want to replace the current screen which is mounted inside the dashboard, i wan't to be able to charge while using external storage, since it won't be too easy to tage the tablet in and out all the time.
Question is just if Nexus 7 allow us to use USB as host while charging? If not, could that be kernel related?
Hope someone got the nerves to try this out

Unfortunately there is apparently a several week wait for it.
Delivery: Estimated between Wed. Aug. 8 and Tue. Aug. 21
It appears several of the USB-OTG cables being sold are shipped from Asia and have multi week shipping delays.

You'd need to mess with the kernel to keep it from turning on the Vbus supply and disabling charging while in host mode. Otherwise I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I agree with you. Just stick with the one posted first in the picture. ( Kingston SC Card Reader)
This will be nice welcome gift for my N7 when it arrives!!

It appears many are having problems with the Elago micro card reader. Love the concept but haven't jumped on one yet due to all the complaints.

Just got my order in from DealExtreme.

They sent me a white and black, the white you can see the blue data access led, the black you can't, it lights up internally but won't shine thru. Works great.
I've searched and never seen an actual 'buyable' product linked on the forums so if this is a dup, I apologize.
Anyone try one of these and see if you can have your Nexus in host mode and charge at the same time?
Is the only option for the female Micro USB port to bring more charge to a usb device plugged in and not to bring charge
to the Nexus itself?
Two scenarios would make this ideal for me:
1.) using my usb xbox controller to play games yet still keeping my tablet charged
2.) using a usb thumb drive to play a movie while still keeping my table charged
I think this would be pretty cool if it worked but I don't know the technical details on if it can be done with our Nexus 7's:

Looks like it's meant for providing power to the USB device you connect (e.g.. external hard drive) instead of to the Nexus7...
The eBay description says it provides charging the the micro-USB port. Only way to know is to buy it and try it out

Hell, I'd do it, but I don't have a Nexus seven yet. LOL
I've been waiting for someone to get a working solution fit this before I purchase one. That and I need good 3.5mm sound quality and I've read its ****e on the Nexus 7.

My sounds works fine, and I haven't even bothered getting the volume + app yet for tweaking. I think there's just no pleasing some ppl with a bare bones tablet like this one.

I have a OK Galaxy Tab in the dash of my car, and use the headset port for music, didn't want to upgrade without seeing one in person.
Hopefully some sort of dock solution will make Otg and charging possible and I can upgrade. Thanks!

OTG and Charging is mutually exclusive, the OTG cable triggers the USB controller to send power out to a device, not receive power.
the pogo docks on the bottom of the device are also impossible to charge from as the nexus 7 has only been given one charging circuit, and that is the same one that OTG disables.
The only way to achieve something like this would be a physical battery hack where you splice in a charging circuit direct to the battery, without frying the phone maybe some unidirectional resistors, so that it can be simultaneously charged whilst powering the device.
I'm 99% certain of this information, and this is not to say someone might hack a kernel together one day
you might be able to install one of them batteries you can just set it on a charging pad and it will charge

I have a ZAGG battery pack I'm planning on trying this with and I will report back I also have that same pad and I can get a fairly cheap charger to place on the matt as you say. Either way that wouldn't be very convenient, but I'll check it out

Wrong. https://github.com/teamhacksung/and...mmit/4c1c965b168bc4488ef66889e1c8933bc1b3de46 for an example on Galaxy S2/Note
As to whether the adapter linked is a proper OTG ACA (they're VERY hard to find) and whether the grouper supports OTG ACA is unknown. It's something a kernel developer can probably implement.
Thanks Entropy512, I can see it working on other devices, that gives me hope... I might rig something up myself now, I've wanted to take a cheap usb keyboard plastic leather cover, and build in an extra battery, card reader and usb hub, now this might be theoretically possible

I can confirm that simply splicing a standard OTG cable into the port and plugging in a power cord will not work. I thought I'd utilize the empty socket from where the rear camera was supposed to go, and try to fit the OTG-to-microSD set-up inside of the Nexus. I bought a salvaged USB/headphone port from a damaged Nexus off of Ebay for $1 and the smallest microSD adapter I could find. With the use of a ribbon cable from an old laptop, some trimming, and some REALLY careful soldering I was able to make it work... sorta. Stickmount sees the card and everything runs great, until you plug in a power cord. Then, it disables the microSD adapter, and even though Stickmount says it's there, no files are visible. Also, the Nexus won't charge with this arrangement.
It might work with a different set up, but simply mimicking the OTG cable will not allow a Stickmounted volume and when the charger is plugged in.
(BTW - To make everything fit, I had to use a Dremel to grind away some of the mid-frame area around the rear camera space. It's a tight fit, but keep in mind that until you have a spare mid-frame, like I do, you'll obviously void your warranty.)

Has anybody tried charging through the pin connectors on the left side?

Same here, only I went a step further and added a 36k resistor from the ID line to ground and that didn't do anything either.
Hope all your work ends in success.
I would like to put this device as a car Entertainment system later. But charging and USB otg is a must.
NEXUS 7
It's a nice method to use in a couple of years your old Nexus 7 as a seedbox
So, I know the Note 2 uses a 2 amp charger. Are there any good car chargers that can output in 2 amps? I currently am using a Motorola one, and I think it's just 1 amp. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I found a 2A car charger on the shelf at Wal-Mart for $8. Works fine for me.
If you have a 5 Below near you, they have a 2.1 amp dual for 5 bucks

The charger I bought for my Captivate charges it, I'll have to look at it to see what amperage it is.
I have this charger from my previous iPhone and it works like a charm! It is 2.1amp but I don't think it hurts the phone since it has smart technology to direct the power as needed!

The motorola one you have is still a beast when it comes to recharging. I have a few of them, one in each car and an additional one for business trips. While running gps, streaming music, and the screen on, my battery still recharges. I have other 2.1 mAh chargers, but always come back to the motorola one. Especially since they are around $5 on amazon.

I believe this is a 1A charger. I have the exact same one, which I used on my EVO 3D.

Hope it wasn't the one I found. It SAYS 2A on the box but it has 2 USB ports and thus feeds 1A PER PORT.
The Samsung OEM car charger for either the tablets or the Notes is a 2A unit.

That's the exact one I use as well. To give you an example, the Note 2 just can't be charged via standard USB port. 450mAh is not enough. I will see if I can do some testing to show you the differences visually this week.
Driving 45 min to pick up the last 64gb microSD card for sale in TN at radio shack (for $39) I had bluetooth on, sharing my data connection with my wifes tablet via foxfi, and using gps, the motorola still can charge the battery while all that was running. At my office, we would call that FM, because I can't really explain how it works just as good as my $15 2.1mAh charger.
What app are you guys using to measure charging rate?

I use a 3A charger in my car, but it's all wired in. Got myself one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-DC-Con...plies_ET&var=560164310799&hash=item3ccbaa5de8 , a 3 way switch, 2 'add-a-fuse' things and wired it all up behind the dashboard with just my Micro USB cable poking out in the drivers side of the dashboard, which plugged into my old car cradle when I had the HTC Sensation. The switch is mounted in one of the blanking plates down by my right knee (right hand drive) and lets me choose between off, on and on-with-ignition for the charger. At the moment I have to plug it into the bottom of the Note 2 myself but I'm planning next to de the wireless charging mod, and integrate the charger into the cradle I have, with NFC also in there to activate car mode when I put the phone in the cradle for (IMO) the perfect solution with no wires trailed all over the car, and my lighter socket free for other things
It was all pretty cheap as well, and an easy mod to do - even though the cradle is on the opposite side of the car to the fuse box and I had to pull out the whole radio and centre console to route the wires... all hidden away now though.
I'll be doing the same on my next car as well.
I was looking at *low profile* dual USB ported chargers but it appears from my lack of knowledge that these are all wired for iPad charging and without a specific charging cable they will only supply max 1A to the Note 2. Can someone with more technical knowledge of the vagaries of USB power please clarify in simple terms?
I would have thought the iPad would take a higher current than 1A
